73 beetle battery charging 14 volts, generator light still on

My generator light turned on solid and the red "b" light also. I checked the generator by taking the wires off and grounding the DF connector to gen frame and started engine and checked voltage from D+ to ground....at about 2k rpn I get around

23 vdc, so I know the battery is charging. One other point, my fuel guage dropped to empty even though I have 1/2 tank.....blown fuse? Please help, Thanks, Rich

Fuse. On '73, Fuse #12 feeds all the things that are out.

Speedy Jim,

Guess what....I was sitting in my car and the gen lite was on , no fuel guage, no turn sigs. I honked the horn and everything started working, but when I went down the road I was getting +18 vdc on my gen.......I bought a new voltage regulator and I think it fixed everything. Thanks,
